The back portion of the top and on oppd site sides of the tooth brushpocket, isrrecessed to provide semi-spherical depressions,

25 and 26, forming pockets for containing brushes, sponges, soaps, orother" articles usually found on wash-stands. As these depressions are.similar in construction a detailed description of either one will besuffi- The bottom of the recess is provided with drain openings?as'shown in Fig. 4 and lead therefrom into a conduit 28' formedintegralgvvith the slab. The conduit'leads from the botto-m'of thepocket into the Wash-bowl adjacent the bottom thereof. The pocket isprovided With a die/mountable utensil which includes a disk 29*, havinga configuration designed'to fit snugly Within, the pocket so as not, tobe knocked therefrom accidentally but having such afi-t that it can bereadily removed for cleaning, repairing and the like; The bottom of thedish is provided with outlet, vents 30- so" that Water Will. bedischarged therefrom through the vents 27 and conduit 28 into the bowl.The portion of the top outlining the: pocket is provided 7 with anannular'recess 31 in which is fitted a cover 32 for closing the top ofthe dish. By means of' a device of. this character it is possible toprovide a neatly formed Washstand top of a form which will lend itselfreadily :to the moldingprocess used in. forming tops; of ceramicmaterial. The device is; designed to employ the least possible amount ofmaterial consistent with the rigidity desi'red. in a device of thischaracter andthe parts are disposed so as to take advantage of themutuaB bracing, provided by the: necessary structural parts; A V

' As all of the dcpresslons are formed of- 7 Wide open pockets thecleaning of the same is facilitatediand the removable feature of theutensils. permits these parts to be readily removed from'the slabandy'cl'eaned by boilor other approved processes. The co'untersunk.cover-receiving seats provide for a securing of the covers positionagainst accidental displacement and the curved dome shaped top of thesecovers permit Water or other matter falling thereon to slide off intothe basin from Which they are discharged through the drain outletopening 14.
